Chapter eight hundred and eighty first joys and sorrows
"I'm old."
Wei Rui sighed. He stared blankly at the tent curtains blown by the wind, and said slowly: "This is regarded as retiring and returning home. Even if you die in Jiangzhou, you can still enjoy your old age in peace. The general will not die in battle."
.It’s just that the situation will change in the future, but what I’m most afraid of seeing is seeing brothers fighting each other.”
These generals fell completely silent.
Willingness is ultimately unwillingness.
If it had been any one of them, from the Zhenwu Army to the Border Army, they had exhausted all their efforts and saw that they could achieve their lifelong goals, but they had to return to their old age. No one would be willing to accept it.
It's just disobeying the holy orders and fighting with brothers, which they are even more unwilling to do.
But if it is really the same as in the last years of the previous dynasty, when the battle for the throne comes, how these frontier troops will ultimately make their choice is something that is unpredictable now.
Most of the generals of the two frontier armies, Mingwei and Dingyuan, are very familiar with each other and are considered to be of the same spirit. However, some of the high-ranking generals of Yongwu, Zhuangwei and Xuanwei may have different plans.
.
"I have never cherished my life in my life. I didn't want to say much before leaving, but some words were stuck in my throat and I had to say them."
Wei Rui walked out of the camp and said to the generals before he was about to leave: "Those who are ministers must be loyal, but they must not be foolish. If you are really in trouble, it is better not to do anything."
These generals felt heavy in their hearts. At most they just nodded without responding and remained silent.
But when I heard that the beloved General Wei Hu was about to leave, there were faint cries in the continuous military camps.
Many of the cries of the iron-blooded sergeants who lost their comrades in battle are the same feelings, many are reluctance, and many are because they feel that their future is uncertain.
…
"Are you sure the content of the edict is correct?"
Almost at the same time, at the moment when the ambitious Wei Rui suddenly turned into a lonely old man, Huang Xun, the governor of Jianping County in the west of the Southern Dynasty, dropped the water ladle in his hand in fear.
Although he knew that it was no longer a secret that the edict was delivered to him, and there could be no mistake, but looking at the pale face of the general who came to deliver the order, he still couldn't help but ask this question.
He couldn't believe that the emperor would do something so ruthless and not give him any leeway.
The edict was actually called the "Book of Punishing Thieves"!
This edict is directed at Lin Yi, the great general of Shenwei Zhenxi!
The emperor's edict directly classified Lin Yi as a remnant of Jiange, a rebellious official and traitor, and now he supported his troops and rebelled, and established himself as king.
Whenever a minister is guilty, and this minister has prestige in the Southern Dynasties, it stands to reason that the imperial envoy should be sent to declare the decree in front of the minister, or the imperial envoy should confess the crime in person, or bring the minister back to Jiankang
punish crime.
But now the emperor's edict is directly telling the world! He is ordering the world to attack Lin Yi, the traitor!
This edict was sent from Jiankang and passed all the way to the states and counties in the west close to the border. This means that at this time, most of the places in the Southern Dynasty had been passed on. Perhaps in half a day, it would be the northern border military capital.
Delivered.
This directly blocked Lin Yi's opportunity to argue. This had already confirmed Lin Yi's crime.
The peerless generals and heroes of the previous Zhongli War have now become treasonous traitors of the Southern Dynasties?
Jianping County is not a big county in the entire west or even the entire Southern Dynasty, nor is it a strategic location. There are not many troops to guard it on weekdays. However, if Lin Yi is conquered, Jianping County and a dozen small counties in the west will bear the brunt.
, how should he deal with himself?
Putting aside himself, the war with the Northern Wei Dynasty has not yet ended. Lin Yi came to the west originally to pacify the western border. Why did he suddenly have to fight Lin Yi again?
What's more, if according to the edict, Lin Yi has made Dangxiang's daughter Xia Baying the king, unifying Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, then how could the emperor not try to appease or talk to her first?
This leaves no room for maneuver... The Southern Dynasties are not just conquering Lin Yi, but are equivalent to directly conquering Dangxiang and Tuyuhun. This is another direct war with two powerful dynasties.
This...what should I do?
…
Many ministers in the Southern Dynasty who felt that the situation had finally eased slightly and who felt that the Southern Dynasty had just won the opportunity to cultivate their health and recuperate, when they heard the news that the emperor issued a "Book of Punishment" and ordered the world to attack Lin Yi, they all expressed their sympathy to the Jianping County commander.
Mamoru reacted almost as if the sky was about to fall.
However, in Dangxiang, the reaction of those who heard the news was completely different.
An eagle fell from the sky and landed on the hand of a general of the Xifeng clan.
The general took out the secret note tied to the falcon's foot. He took a look at it. He was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.
Begging a thief?
Crusade against Tie Cejun and Lin Yi?
This is so flattering!
After the general immediately judged that the content of the military information should be true, he even felt like he couldn't help laughing.
The Xi Feng clan was forced to surrender to Xia Ba Ying. Although they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, it didn't take long and they also discovered many benefits.
Leaving aside other benefits, they enjoyed unprecedented convenience and fairness in trade.
The Xiaba tribe was originally based on honesty and trustworthiness, but now that Xiaba Ying is king, they don't have to worry about the other tribes plotting behind their backs.
Although Xia Baying is a woman and not from the royal family before, she is still a member of the Party no matter what.
After conquering Tuyuhun, it will naturally be of great benefit to the entire party.
On the contrary, the Xifeng clan and other clans have always been most worried about Lin Yi.
No matter how trustworthy Lin Yi appears, he is from the Southern Dynasties after all.
After all, he was a Southern Dynasty general who accepted orders from the Southern Emperor.
What they were worried about was that the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty would issue an order in the future, asking him to give up many party interests to the Southern Dynasty. How would Lin Yi deal with it then?
But now, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty actually broke up with Lin Yi directly.
The emperor of the Southern Dynasties actually classified Lin Yi as a traitor.
This is of course a great thing for them. It is as if Lin Yi suddenly became a party member.
The royal family of Dangxiang had originally coveted the land of the Southern Dynasty. They were afraid of the practitioners and troops of the Southern Dynasty before and were a little timid. Now if Lin Yi and Xia Baying's coalition forces go to war with the Southern Dynasty, then their army may be useful.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry...report the good news to Wang and General Lin Yi."
In his ecstasy, he actually said this to the herald behind him.
"Announcement?"
The herald behind him also saw the contents of the secret note and was a little confused for a moment.
"Oh, of course we can't say good news."
The general of the Xi Feng clan was unable to react in an instant. He scratched his head in embarrassment and then patted the herald on the shoulder, "But it is indeed an extremely urgent military situation. We must let General Lin know as soon as possible.
